LNC-2001 description:
Thank you for purchasing the Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) LNC-2001 Launch and Timing
Controller. This module shares all of the functions and features that are found in our LNC-2000 module, but
the LNC-2001 is designed specifically for GM LSA and LS9 engine applications, featuring LSA & LS9 engine
specific coil harness connectors.
Sometimes referred to as a 2-step or launch controller, the LNC-2001 adjustable RPM limiter and timing retard
controller can be used to provide consistent launch RPM off the line in drag racing and other standing start racing
applications. In turbocharged applications the LNC-2001 can also be used to retard the timing in order to build
more boost at the line.
The LNC-2001 can also be used as an adjustable individual cylinder RPM limiter, providing reliable and fast
acting spark based engine RPM limit control. This is especially useful in vehicles that have auxiliary fuel control
systems where it is not possible to make sure that both the factory ECM/PCM and the auxiliary systems both turn
off fuel at exactly the same time. If the two don’t completely cut fuel at the same time, you will run lean when the
one system cuts off the injectors (but not the other), risking severe engine damage.
The Timing Retard capabilities of the LNC-2001 can be used to retard timing by up to 15 degrees. For nitrous
oxide applications the timing retard can be activated using the dedicated timing retard activation input to
the LNC-2001. This dedicated timing retard activation input can be activated using clutch or accelerator
pedal position via a micro switch or the Lingenfelter CTAP-001 clutch and throttle activation position switch
(L460190108). The LNC-2001’s timing retard activation input can also be activated via a +12v activation signal
from a nitrous controller, such as the Lingenfelter NCC-001 or NCC-002. In turbocharged and supercharged
engines the amount of retard can be controlled by the boost level using the 3 bar MAP sensor input. The
LNC-2001 can also be used to retard the timing at the line to build boost in turbocharged vehicle applications
(with or without the launch control RPM active). The Timing Retard function can be used by itself or while the
Launch Control RPM limit function is active.
Please note - although launch controllers like the LNC-2001 are often referred to as 2-step controllers, they
are not true 2-step controllers. A true 2-step controller, such as the LNC-003, has a high and a low RPM
limit function with a switch of some type enabling one setting or the other. The LNC-2001 only has one
RPM limit setting so if you are using the LNC-2001 as a launch control RPM limiter, you will need to use
the factory ECM/PCM as the engine maximum RPM limiter (engine speed governor).
WARNINGS:
The RPM limiter function of the LNC-2001 acts by disabling spark to individual cylinders and not fuel like
most production RPM limiters so the 2-Step/Launch Control function is not meant for use on the street or
for use on cars equipped with catalytic converters. The 2-Step/Launch Control function of the
LNC-2001 is only for use at the race track on race vehicles not equipped with catalysts. Failure to follow
these precautions can result in premature catalyst failure.
DO NOT operate the engine with the LNC-2001 RPM limit active for extended periods of time. Due to the
raw fuel in the exhaust when the RPM limit is active, a risk of backfiring exists if you do so.
DO NOT place in direct exposure to exhaust manifolds, turbocharger turbine housings or other underhood items
that are high temperature heat sources (radiated heat sources). The warranty does not cover damage due to melted
enclosures or wiring due to improper installation.
Do NOT submerge Controller in liquid or directly wash unit with liquid of any type! The switches on the
LNC-2001 are sealed but are NOT rated for high pressure wash, use caution if power washing near the LNC2001 controller.

Installation:
• Make sure the ignition is off before beginning installation.
• You can mount the LNC-2001 using the supplied hook and loop tape or the supplied self tapping
screws.
• Do NOT mount the LNC-2001 directly on top of the engine or near the exhaust manifolds due to
heat concerns.
• Do NOT mount the LNC-2001 in the line of site of high temperature objects such as exhaust
manifolds, turbine housings etc. If needed, put a heat shield in between the heat source and the
module to protect the plastic case and the wiring.
• Do NOT install within 6” of nitrous solenoids or other devices with strong magnetic fields.
• If you have relocated coil packs, do not run the high voltage spark plug wires alongside the low
voltage coil pack wires. Keep the wires as far apart as possible and, if they do have to intersect, have
them intersect at right angles.
• Disconnect the pack connectors on each side of the engine and then plug the LNC-2001 wiring
harnesses in between on each side. The following chart shows the correct location of each
connector, which is dependent upon which engine you have:
Engine type / Side of engine LSA
LS9
Passenger Side
12-way 14-way
Driver side
14-way 12-way
• The only wiring that is required is for the trigger wire(s)
depending on how you want to enable the device. See
pages 12 to 23 for specific wiring diagrams. While we
have tried to cover most configurations, many different
possible wiring methods exist, too many for us to list them
all. Check some of the Corvette, Camaro, and CTS-V
forums for discussions on other wiring methods.
The possible 2-step trigger/activation connection methods are:
• ground activation wire (green) - connect this wire to a source that supplies a ground path when
you want the LNC-2001 to become active
• +12 volt activation wire (yellow) - connect this wire to a source that supplies +12 volts when
you want the LNC-2001 to become active (i.e. brake light switch, line-lock solenoid)
• switch connected in between the ground activation wire and the +12 volt activation wire (green
wire connected to yellow wire through a switch, usually a momentary switch)
• ground activation wire connected to +12 volt activation wire (green connected to yellow) for
standard RPM limiter operation (LNC-2001 always active)
• Set the desired RPM switch activation point using the two ten position rotary switches for the 1000
RPM increment (x1000) and the 100 RPM increment (x100).
Page 5 of 27
• If you are using the timing retard feature, do one of the following:
• Connect a +12 vdc trigger wire from a +12 vdc output source (such as a WOT switch signal or
an output signal from a nitrous controller) to the orange Retard Activation wire on the
LNC-2001. This will allow the +12V retard activation signal to force the retard to the maximum
retard setting on the LNC-2001.
• Connect the LNC-2001 MAP sensor input to the MAP sensor. This allows for the timing retard
to be based on the boost seen by the MAP sensor.
• Install the optional female connector (PN: L480320000) to the analog out signal from another
control device (nitrous controller, traction control module, etc...). Connect the female connector
to the linear signal connector from the LNC-2001. This allows for the timing retard ramp to be
controlled by an external control device when the LNC-2001 is in linear mode.
Launch Control/2-Step Features
The independent coil drive of the LNC-2001 provides sequential ignition kill when RPM limiting is
active. The desired RPM limiting is set as shown on page 4. The activation for the
Launch Control/2-Step function is controlled by the ground (green) or +12 volt (yellow) activation
wires.
If you are triggering off of the clutch switch, the 2-step will trigger each time you depress the clutch
pedal. This can be used to provide an ignition cut/torque cut on each gear change to potentially allow
for faster shifts/faster clutch engagement. On MT 2008+ Corvette, 2010+ Camaro, and 2009-2015
CTS-V, you will need to use the Lingenfelter CTAP-001 Clutch and Throttle Activation Position switch
(PN: L460190108) to convert the 0-5 volt analog position signal to a +12 volt switched signal. See
pages 12-13 for a clutch activation wiring diagram using the CTAP-001.
If you do not want the 2-step to trigger when you engage the clutch pedal once you are moving then you
will need to install a momentary switch or use the Lingenfelter MPH activated switch
(STOV-004). With the MPH activated switch you can set at what MPH you want the 2-Step activation
to be disabled. Refer to pages 12 and 13 for wiring diagrams that demonstrates how the STOV-004
should be connected to the LNC-2001.
Timing Retard Features
Up to 15 degrees of timing retard can be applied. The amount of retard is adjusted with the Max Retard
dial and the retard rate is adjusted with the Rate dial. The timing retard function can be triggered three
ways:
• Retard activation wire - orange wire to be connected to a 12 volt DC activation trigger switch
• MAP sensor input connection - to be connected to a GM 3 bar MAP sensor
• MAP sensor input connection - to be connected to a nitrous controller, traction control module, or
other external devices.
For all trigger methods, ignition retard is only active when the engine RPM is above 1,000 RPM. MAP
sensor based retard is only active if a MAP sensor is connected to the MAP sensor input. The
LNC-2001 checks for this by checking if a voltage signal is present on the purple signal wire on power
up. If the orange wire is connected (and powered by a +12 volt source) while a MAP sensor is also
connected then the timing retard will go to the maximum retard value set with the Max Retard dial.
The Retard may be activated while the RPM Limiter is active.

Time based retard mode
The retard Rate setting controls how quickly the controller goes to the amount of timing retard set with
the Max Retard switch. For example, if you have the Max Retard switch set to 10 degrees and you
have the Rate switch set to 1 second, after 0.5 seconds you will have 5 degrees of retard and it will take
one second to build up to the full 10 degrees of retard.
Boost retard mode
When using the MAP sensor input, the Rate setting controls how many degrees of retard per pound
(psi) of boost and the Max Retard setting controls the maximum number of degrees retard to allow.
For example, if you have the controller set to 10 degrees with the Max Retard switch (position A) and
the Rate switch set to 3 degrees per pound of boost (position F), then at 1 psi of boost you would have
3 degrees of retard, at 2 psi of boost you would have 6 degrees of retard, at 3 psi you would have 9
degrees of retard but at 4 psi you would only have 10 degrees of retard because you have the maximum
setting with the Max Retard switch set to 10.
When using boost based timing retard the orange retard activation input wire will force the retard to the
maximum retard level setting on the Max Retard switch no matter what the boost level is. This allows
you to use the orange trigger wire to retard timing at the line in order to build boost and then still use
the boost based timing retard as you go down the track.
Timing retard notes:
• When the LNC-2001 is powered up with no MAP sensor installed it will default to Time Based
Retard mode.
• When the LNC-2001 is powered up with a MAP sensor installed it will switch to Boost Retard
mode. The sensor signal MUST be present on power up for the LNC-2001 to enter this mode. The
“Max Retard” dial will still set the Maximum amount of retard allowed. The “Rate” dial will control
the degrees of retard applied for each psi of boost applied to the MAP Sensor.
Page 8 of 27
Timing retard analog input (Linear Mode)
The timing retard analog input mode (Linear Mode) is a new feature for the LNC-2000 and LNC-2001.
Linear mode allows the user to input a voltage which will correspond to the amount of timing retard
that will be activated. This input voltage can be provided by many different external devices, including
nitrous controllers (such as the LPE NCC-002 nitrous controller) or via custom wiring configurations. The LNC-2001’s Linear Mode recognizes voltage ranges of 0.2-4.8 volts. At 0.2 volts and below the
timing retard is set to 0 degrees while at 4.8 volts the LNC is at full timing retard of 15 degrees. The
maximum retard setting still dictates the maximum amount of timing that can be taken out; however, it
does not change the scaling of the linear mode. For example, if you want to retard the timing 8 degrees
maximum, you would need to set the Max Retard dial to “8”. It would take 2.65 volts of input in order
to reach 8 degrees of timing retard. Any voltage past that point will not cause the LNC to further retard
the timing since the maximum set value is 8 degrees. Linear mode on the LNC-2001 is activated by
setting the “Rate” dial to setting “F”. The linear (purple) signal wire is the voltage input wire and
should be connected to a voltage output source. The linear (black) ground wire should be hooked up to
a ground source. These wires are part of the MAP sensor electrical connector. When the Rate switch
is in the “F” position, the LNC enters linear mode regardless of whether the MAP sensor is connected
or not. When you activate the orange +12V Retard Activation wire it will override linear mode and go
into Max Retard mode. There are 3.26 degrees of timing retard per volt.
Timing retard analog output
The LNC-2001 provides an analog voltage output
that indicates the amount of timing retard that
is being applied. The gray analog output wire
provides a linear 0 to 3 volt DC output with 0 volts
indicating 0 degrees of timing retard and 3 volts
indicating 15 degrees of timing retard. This voltage
value can be logged with EFILive, HPTuners,
DashDAQ or other devices to allow you to
determine how much timing you really had while
going down the track.
Note - Because the LNC-2001 modifies the
ignition timing after the PCM or ECM, the factory
computer is not aware of the changed timing so it
will not display the modified timing value in a scan
tool.
Timing retard return ramp rate
When the timing retard is disabled, the LNC-2001
returns to the stock timing using the ramp rate of
0.5 degrees per cylinder firing event until it is back
to 0 retard.

For example, at 6000 rpm you have 400 firing events per second so each event is 0.0025 seconds apart.
If you had the maximum retard of 15 degrees activated and then disabled the timing retard, it would
take 0.0375 seconds to return to 0 retard (full timing). At 1500 rpm you have 100 firing events per
second so each event is 0.01 seconds apart and it would take 0.15 seconds to return to full timing if you
were at 15 degrees of timing retard.

Additional Notes
Important Information regarding spark plug wires and spark plugs:
You must use noise suppression ignition wires and resistor type spark plugs with this Controller. The
LNC-2001 Controller contains High Frequency Digital Electronics and will NOT function correctly
without Noise Suppression Wires!
Note about manual transmission clutch switch/position sensor on GM vehicles:
For LNC-2001 applicable vehicles (2009-2013 ZR1 Corvette, 2012-2015 ZL1 Camaro, and 2009-2015
CTS-V) with manual transmissions, the clutch position is observed by the ECM through the clutch
pedal position (CPP) sensor, which will have a falling voltage output as the pedal is depressed. Because
the signal is a variable analog voltage instead of a switched 12 volt signal, the LNC-2001 cannot be
directly triggered by the sensor. For this reason, a TPS/clutch switch such as the Lingenfelter
CTAP-001 (PN: L460190108) must be wired into these vehicles in order to trigger the LNC-2001 based
on clutch position.
Nitrous, line-lock, trans-brake and other solenoid usage warning:
LPE has found that these solenoids can cause fly-back voltage levels at times in excess of 600 volts.
These voltage levels have the potential to damage sensitive electronics including the LNC-2001, the
PCM/ECM and other modules in the vehicle. LPE has developed a transient voltage suppression
(TVS) diode kit (PN L450080000) for use with line-lock solenoids, trans-brake solenoids and other
aftermarket automotive solenoids of this type. The TVS diode is a special kind of diode used to suppress
voltage spikes. LPE recommends the use of our TVS diode on all vehicles that have a line lock or
trans-brake. This kit comes with three TVS diodes, enough for most common installations. If you have
a vehicle with multiple solenoids we recommend obtaining additional TVS diodes for those solenoids.
Install the TVS diode across the solenoid wires
as close to the solenoid as possible. Polarity
does not matter (Red and Black wires can go to
either solenoid wire). If there is no accessible
ground terminal to connect the diode to, such
as the case with a trans-brake solenoid, the
diode should be connected to the nearest
ground source. In the case of the diode for
the trans-brake solenoid, the diode should be
connected to the transmission case as it will
provide a ground path.

LPE recommends using TVS diodes on:
• Nitrous solenoids
• Nitrous purge solenoids
• Fuel solenoids
• Line-lock solenoids
• Trans-brake solenoids

the Clutch Switch and the STOV-004 MPH
activated switch. The STOV-004 should be set
so that after the vehicle launches from the line,
the linelock and the 2-step feature gets
disabled. For all LNC-2001 vehicle applications,
an external clutch activation position switch,
such as the LPE CTAP-001, will be required to
activate the 2-step and linelock based on clutch
position.

Progressive Nitrous Timing Retard
To allow a nitrous or other controller to control the amount of timing retard:
• Set the LNC-2001 to Linear Mode (F on the Rate dial)
• Set the maximum desired timing retard with the Max Retard Setting on the LNC-2001
• Connect the analog output from your controller to the LNC MAP/Linear Input harness connector
(using the universal WeatherPak connector kit, PN L480320000)
• This allows the nitrous or other external controller to control the amount of timing retard while
still allowing the LNC-2001 to limit the timing retard to the user set Max Retard setting.

Set both stages to the same settings if you want the LNC-2001 timing retard to trigger when the nitrous triggers. If
you want the timing retard to activate earlier or later, set the second stage to come in earlier or later than the first
stage on the controller.
Use a relay to swap the output (ground/power activation swap)
This setup can be used for any progressive 2-stage nitrous controller that does not have a timing retard

(With the MAP Adapter)
NOTE: The three pin connector on the TMS adapter will
not connect to the 3 bar MAP sensor connector on the
LNC because they are keyed differently.
The “TMS-Drag-MAP” name is
property of Davis Technologies
There are a couple solutions:
- LPE sells a keyless connector kit to replace the stock
connector on the TMS adapter (PN: L480320000).
- Remove the terminals from the connector on the TMS
MAP adapter, drill out the keys in the connector, and then
reinstall the terminals into the connector.
- Change the connector on the LNC-2001 to the mating
connector for the TMS MAP adapter (part # 12015793)
-Set the LNC-2001 to Linear Mode (”F”
on Timing Rate setting)
-Set the traction control module for
the desired timing retard ramp.
-Set the Max Retard setting on the
LNC-20001
-While the traction control module will
create the timing retard ramp, the
LNC-2001 will still control the maximum timing retard.

Troubleshooting:
• Intermittent misfire or other erratic vehicle operation.
• Have someone monitor the LED’s on the LNC and note what they are doing when the problem
occurs. Try changing the RPM settings on the LNC. Does the problem still occur and, if so, at
the same RPM?
• Disconnect the activation input and retest (leaving the LNC connected to the coil packs)
• Does the problem still occur?
• If no, the problem is likely coming from the activation input.
• Check for an erratic activation signal or electrical noise on the activation input. Are
you using a microswitch or momentary switch? Bypass this device to confirm that it
isn’t giving you erratic activation signals. Are you using a mechanical relay in a high
vibration/acceleration environment? If so, try switching to a solid state relay.
• If yes, disconnect the LNC from the vehicle completely and test again.
• If the problem still occurs, it is not related to the LNC.
• If the problem goes away, re-install the LNC and test the following:
• Re-route the LNC wiring harness away from the spark plug wires and/or ignition
coils.
• Make sure the wires are not run in parallel with electrical wiring including fuel
injector harness wires or nitrous solenoid wires.
• Mount the LNC in a different location.
• If you are using aftermarket spark plug wires, try changing back to the stock
spark plug wires or a different brand of spark plug wires. Make sure you are
using noise suppression spark plug wires.
• If you are using aftermarket/non OEM spark plugs, confirm that they are really a
resistor type plug.
• No power LED on LNC/no vehicle start up
• Try disconnecting everything and plugging it all back in - you may have corroded or loose
connections. Inspect all connectors and wires for damage and wear.
• LNC is active all of the time
• Have someone check the LED’s to see what they do when the LNC activates.
• Make sure that the LNC ground activation wire is not connected to an “always on” ground. This
connection is not a module ground but an activation ground.
• Make sure you don’t have the yellow and green activation wires connected to each other - this
will cause the LNC to always be active.
• Timing retard not working
• NOTE - the timing retard will NOT show up on a scan tool as the ECM or PCM is not aware of
the timing retard.
• Make sure engine RPM is greater than 1000 RPM (timing retard is not active below 1000 RPM).
• Check what the LED’s on the LNC are doing when the timing retard should become active.
• Check your timing with a timing light with the retard active and not active.
• Check what the LNC thinks the amount of timing retard is using a volt meter on the gray analog
out wire. Does it agree with your settings?
